As of last week, most individuals over the age of 12 are now eligible to receive their COVID-19 vaccine in the United States. Whether you've already had your shot (and have the Band-Aid to prove it!) or you've seen your friends' and family members' records floating around on social media, you've probably become familiar with the 4-inch by 3-inch cards that mark the dates of your first and second shots. According to the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC), you should keep it in case you need it for future use—so you'll likely want a vaccine card holder to store it in.

In other words? You want to treat your COVID-19 vaccination card like the valuable asset it is. The National Archives and Records Administration recommends placing it in a "plastic pocket (flexible or stiff) or a stiff paper envelope.” The organization also notes that, since it's a bit too big to place in many wallets without folding it up, you should steer clear of storing it there unprotected.

We've rounded up 10 different options that are not only big enough to house your card, they're currently at a discount. Check out our top picks below!
